Functional Composition
Offered By: Strange Loop Conference via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the intersection of music theory and functional programming in this 38-minute conference talk from Strange Loop 2013. Dive into the world of sound synthesis, starting with the fundamental sine wave and progressively building more complex abstractions. Follow along as Chris Ford demonstrates how Clojure and the Overtone audio environment can be used to create musical compositions, culminating in a rendition of a Johann Sebastian Bach canon. Learn about Western music notation, harmonics, MIDI, melodies, and key changes while discovering how programming concepts apply to musical creation. Gain insights into how developers can tap into their latent musical abilities through code, bridging the gap between software engineering and musical composition.
